-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until the beef is tender.
-
Add the diced lamb kidney to the pot in the last 20 minutes of cooking to prevent overcooking.

Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce to taste.
-
Transfer the hot filling to a pie dish.
-
Roll out shortcrust pastry and cover the pie dish, crimping the edges to seal.
